Preview spread from the Midnight of the Century hardcover. Three columns, clean layout, punchy red highlight. Creating an Investigator. Stylised photobashed image of an Investigator smoking a cigarette and looking at a strip of film.

Two page spread of the Example of Play (Investigation) for Midnight of the Century. Alongside the full page example, there's a black and white illustration of a reporter looking at a crime scene.

I hope you're all ready for the launch of the full Midnight of the Century PDF later this week. It's been a long time coming, but I couldn't be prouder of how it turned out.

I think you're all going to have a lot of fun playing this!

The time is near.

Stumbled across this Oroboro recruitment ad from 1993. Their methods have changed a lot since then but their goals are still the same.

I know @theerinmaher.bsky.social & @ruefrex.bsky.social may get tired of me doing this every year, but just finished my Christmas tradition of watching their #Millennium episode #MidnightoftheCentury. Absolutely brilliant writing and the best TV holiday episode ever IMO. youtu.be/dxL0xAaMjm4?...

Here's a new animated logo I made for Midnight of the Century, showing the provenance and meaning behind the circular icon, a combination of ouroboros and clock.

INVESTIGATIONS What type of investigations can a player character expect? • Capture a serial murderer targeting former residents of a state-run orphanage. • Uncover the truth behind a rash of disappearances from a small town high school. • Hunt a spree killer stalking freeway underpasses. • Decipher death threats delivered to hospitals across the city. • Track a masked killer snatching victims from their suburban houses. • Infiltrate a doomsday cult bent on releasing poison gas in a crowded subway station. • Probe reports of human sacrifice in the bowels of an ivy league university.

Forgot how much of a buzz I get from diving headfirst into layout on a project, especially one I've been banging my head against for months.

Here's a brief tease of the current state.

midnight of the century '90s occult investigation TTRPG

Mid-90s, the Pacific Northwest.

You have a knack for finding connections no-one else can see but you’ve grown jaded and cynical. You’re now hunting serial killers in a rain-soaked city on the edge of apocalypse.

The time is near...
